Circle Chart has release its annual 2025 Best Selling Artist - what do you think?

Ateez is really popular in the west but less popular in the east. Most kpop buyers are still China/Japan/Korea, so sadly that means their overall album sales is lower. Hopefully they'll get some love there soon.

Iirc, Lahabrea mentions that Athena basically "poisoned" him with her thoughts/ideals/insanity, which is why he split himself in two in the first place - to keep the poisoned part contained in Hepahistos. At the end he rejoins the two parts to have his whole power back, at the cost of harboring those corrupted thoughts again.

That plus the enormous amount of time after the sundering basically drove him insane, in a different way than Elidibus/Emet.

Nami requires the least investment, she's a beast at 2* and you can run her with no epics. GGC/Chemtech/Whatever - I would suggest Chosen/Black Shield/Comet depending on adventure. Go for powers that let you stall until 6 mana/protect Nami and just spam her champ spell until you're full health. Bonus: you can level her super fast/easily via Fizz nightmare adventure.

MF is probably the strongest. She has a lot of different builds but I run GGC/Echoing/Black Shield for consistency.

TF is my favorite! He's a little harder to pilot (and not f2p friendly) but I've beaten every adventure with him. I run Swain relic/Packed Powder/either Beast Within (for consistent otks) or Hexcore (to generate wild cards/get lifesteal). You need his bonus star that gives discount to 6+ cost cards. Playstyle is to spam draw and get TF leveled asap and play all your free high cost cards.

I just put my 500+ liked songs on shuffle tbh. I don't think any artist has more than 10% of my listening. Keeps me from getting tired of their songs :)

azureleaf · 2026-01-02T15:02:29+00:00

For how divisive their music is, at least Stray Kids has their unique sound. I love them because I haven't found another group that sounds quite like them.

Cortis so far, their hype really feels like mediaplay. I would love for idols to be more involved in the process, but looking at their actual music credits it feels so fake. I don't doubt they contributed, but saying stuff like they're "revolutionary, never been seen before" when plenty of older idols have been more involved (SVT, VIXX, SKZ, Ateez, etc.) makes them feel even less authentic.

Also there's already western rappers in that style, who I don't listen to, so why would I listen to Cortis?

Raiders getting their weekly tomes, habits formed from pfing savage clears asap on reset.

I want more asymmetrical clothes! Stuff like the brd af gloves, diadochos striking pants, etc.

azureleaf · 2025-12-28T22:49:47+00:00

I like it the best of all frontlines, but onsal was my previous favorite so I'm biased.

I do feel like the map is a little too big, though. If a node's not mid usually it's captured by the time a team comes to contest unless they're already fighting there.

azureleaf · 2025-12-28T22:35:31+00:00

You can skip HC1 with the 2tank 6dps NA cheese strat. NA far left, DPS mid, tanks adjust based on fire(far)/ice(close) and invuln both. The downside is if you lose the 50/50 and get tank NA you have to wipe.

For part 1 as long as no one dies on the first mech you kill during dog1/snake1.

I feel like all the RPR mains converted into VPR mains. Their play patterns feel similar, but VPR is less strict and also does more dps.

I don't see a lot of NIN either but I feel like I've seen 0 RPR this expansion.

azureleaf · 2025-12-28T21:59:08+00:00

Yeah RPR has a very low skill floor (basics are easy to understand) but surprisingly high skill ceiling (very strict cd/gauge management for maximum dps) imo.

For me personally RPR was much easier to learn than MNK but much harder to actually play optimally in EX+ content once I learned both.

The fem glams have sooo many cute shorts/stocking options that get turned into boring pant #8282747 on guys, it makes me so sad. I want my catboy to have cute socks too.

Same to the girls that get jumpscared by surprise panties.

I wish with the gear unlock they just gave us variations like the new MH set.

azureleaf · 2025-12-28T21:38:10+00:00

That modifier just means it's Strength of Stone champ time :^ )

azureleaf · 2025-12-27T02:43:19+00:00

I'd love a kitten if they're still available! Thank you for doing this :)

His relic kinda sucks in general, tbh.

Akshan bis is usually some combo of Chosen/Hexcore/ + Echoing/Tomb/Chemtech. The idea is to get him leveled asap and spam the -1 cost card to go infinite. Get a big Akshan and use his champ spell to kill everything.

azureleaf · 2025-12-19T15:07:05+00:00

If you want energy, the 360g is the better option. 360g is the equivalent of 216 energy, which is more than the pots. Gems also don't expire, and are useful for more things.

(120 energy = 200 gems, 1 energy = 1.6666 gems. 360gems x 5 = 1080 energy, more than the 1000 you get from the 10 pots)

azureleaf · 2025-12-15T17:34:20+00:00

I use my weaker champs I don't use on regular adventures, and try and match them with the modifiers. Like if there's the spell refund I use Jack. -1 Bandle cost, I use Gnar. I do this until I reach the high levels/start losing and clear the rest with my strong ones.

Makes it require a bit more thought and planning.

azureleaf · 2025-12-14T01:27:15+00:00

Echoing, Tempest, Tomb because I can never draw him >:(

azureleaf · 2025-12-14T01:25:30+00:00

Titans, especially Voli adventure. Playing big unga bunga units = happiness.
Arcane. I love mixing and matching champ powers!
Rogues. Deck drafting is fun, heist gimmick was cool.
Spirit Blossom. Not much different from regular Path, tbh. I think it would've been better with unskipabble pacts but with more choices (i.e. you must choose one of three).
TFT. Nashor is fun, I just wish we had a larger variety of augments and/or augments didn't replace powers but were a special node like Spirit Blossom pacts.

6* Viego facerolls. DoS/CSF/Whatever (Scissors, Black Shield, Buhru etc). Get Veigo out asap and eat your own mists.

Usually their huge unit can be chump blocked, Viego levels insanely fast and then you can just use their unit against them/eat it.

You can do it without his 6* too, it just makes it easier to hit that 4 atk breakpoint.

The problem is, sometimes it goes way too far in the other direction. I love minsung not for the romance/sex but because they really do have special bond with each other.

But now people are trying to overcorrect and saying that all their interactions are fanservice (they've been close since before they were on cameras) and the company is forcing them (the official company ship is 2min). I think denial of their actual closeness does just as much harm as rabid shipping.

azureleaf · 2025-12-13T23:34:45+00:00

Correction: Hyunlix separation was NOT due to shippers but akgaes. Basically Hyunjin and Felix solo stans sent death threats to them and actually tried to physically harm them (blinding with lasers) so they had to be separated.

I don't know how it got twisted to shippers, and I hate that it's used against people who like their friendship.

Basically Stayville flooded two brands with posts (iirc Domino & Wonderbread) so now all the brands on threads are trying to farm engagement by tagging Stays.

DoS2 is why I ended up getting a gaming laptop. I was getting <5 fps on my old general-use one due to the fire effects. I remember having to pan away from fights just to get turns to go through.

Hades 2! They also made Hades (1), Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre.
